Yoshiko Sakurai argues that the Preamble and Article 9, Paragraph 2 of Japan’s Constitution are based on the grand fiction that Japan can entrust its safety to the justice and good faith of the international community, thereby binding the government and the power of self-defense and preventing Japan from acting as a normal state.

Therefore, neither the government nor the military must be allowed to act freely.
It is an absurd idea that denies Japan, binding it hand and foot and refusing to allow the government to behave as a state.
The source of that is the Preamble of the Constitution.
The following is a continuation of the “Introduction” to Yoshiko Sakurai’s book, The Lies of the Pro-China Faction, published on May 12.
She is a “national treasure” as defined by Saicho, and one of Japan’s treasures.
The employees of newspapers such as the Asahi Shimbun and television stations such as NHK must read this with their eyes wide open if they wish to be Japanese people who are “national treasures” rather than “traitors to the nation.”
This does not apply, however, to those who are not truly Japanese, but live according to the anti-Japanese propaganda of the Korean Peninsula and China.
Emphases in the text, other than the headings, are mine.
The Preamble of the Constitution and Article 9 are both lies.
Why does such a thing happen?
Is it not because of reflection on the Greater East Asia War?
It could also be called the aftereffect of the occupation policy.
Japan once fought a bad war.
Therefore, neither the government nor the military must be allowed to act freely.
It is an absurd idea that denies Japan, binding it hand and foot and refusing to allow the government to behave as a state.
The source of that is the Preamble of the Constitution.
“We have determined to preserve our security and existence, trusting in the justice and faith of the peace-loving peoples of the world.”
What receives this Preamble is Article 9, Paragraph 2.
“Land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.”
This means that the country called Japan must do nothing to protect its people.
It does not even have the qualification to do anything.
That is what it means.
Then how are the people of a country governed by a government that does nothing supposed to survive?
The Constitution says this.
The international community is a pure white and beautiful place; no country even thinks of the first character of “invasion,” and all are countries full of justice and good faith.
Therefore, Japanese people, rely on the international community.
Cling to the international community and entrust your lives to it, it says.
However, the international community is not such a place.
As proof of that, is China not right before our eyes?
Both the Preamble of the Constitution and Article 9, Paragraph 2 are grand fictions, lies.
The Constitution of Japan continues to lie that the international community, including China, is righteous, and that Japan itself is the wicked country.
The Chinese Communist Party constantly lies that China is right and intimidates other countries.
In the point that Japan is evil and China is right, the two have something in common at their root.
However, no matter how much one tries to gloss it over, the footing of the Chinese Communist Party is fragile.
Just as it failed to learn how to deal with viruses even after experiencing the SARS problem, the Chinese Communist Party has not learned from the mistakes of the former Soviet Union, even after studying the collapse of the Soviet Union.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union tried to carry a dying controlled economy, limitless military expansion, and a vast communist empire that it could not maintain, under a system hardened by an ideology that had no flexibility whatsoever.
Structurally, China under the Xi Jinping system is the same.
In 2018, Xi became a “lifetime emperor,” brought down one political enemy after another, and created an authoritarian political system.
Like the former Soviet Union, it became an ideological state with extremely poor ventilation.
That ideology is Xi Jinping Thought, and China is hardened by it.
As in the former Soviet Union, there is no freedom of speech, nor freedom of politics or belief.
Surveillance of the people is more thorough than in the Soviet Union.
If one resists, there is re-education and being sent to a detention camp.
